I'm not much of a welder and know it. So when I need something done right, I searched all over to find a shop with people who really know what they are doing, and not just full of themselves. Not to say all welders are like that, but here in Tyler, it's very hard to find a welder that doesn't know everything, but never actually does anything.
The shop that I found is very busy. Good sign. They have a waiting list. Good sign. They have a machine shop. Good sign. And the guys working there have been there for at least a decade!!!! VERY GOOD SIGN.
Everything that I've given them to do, from welding aluminum, to putting my backhoe back together, has been perfect.
Spend the time to find a welding shop run by pros with all the machinery and equipment to do the job right.
Your "friend" doesn't sound like much of a friend. He misled you on his skills and ability to do a job that was way outside his abilities. From what you have described, he made it worse then before you went there.
